New Scotland Yard design

The design of the new Scotland Yard building has been revealed. The current Metropolitan Police headquarters is being sold and the service is moving to new offices at the iconic Curtis Green building on the Victoria Embankment in 2015.

London architect firm Allford Hall Monaghan Morris were chosen to redesign the building after the decision to sell off New Scotland Yard to save money. The new home will be known simply as Scotland Yard, but the world famous revolving sign will be relocated to the new site.

Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime Stephen Greenhalgh said: "Scotland Yard is returning to its historical home in Whitehall. The new, smaller Met HQ will help deliver a 21st century police force and AHMM's design, which includes a public space, will help Londoners to reconnect with the Met."
